YES BABE 

Make "Hovels" a main feature in the FAQ/Home page

Hovels were only good for blocking luci-jumpers in ATCS (because they were free)
They're like the rocks left behind after an egg blows up in 1.2. Nice to shoot at them for an extra ~3 score.

that is one cruel way of looking at it
but when you think about it whenever you murder a hovel you are making another granger homeless.

THINK ABOUT IT

Yes, I'm also thinking of the fact that some noob will run into it. Then no other grangers can use it. I'm also thinking of it not being able to be deconned because someone is in there.
Only one granger in one Hovel, watching him troll away.

I honestly forgot that hovels were in the game until this thread reminded me of them.

I'm not sure about gameplay in 1.2, but in 1.1, they're completely useless as far as I've ever seen.

Hovel was removed from 1.2
And yes it was useless aside from one critical lucijump spot in ATCS

Hovel was erased from existance from 1.2 except the "ghost asset" that comes with trem

What (s)he said. In my opionion, the original developers hadn't figured out how to fix the hovel glitch despite many existing trem mods out there with hovel fixes. Then again, i'll be contradicting myself as lakitu7 had it in his qvm, and he's a developer.

Hovels were useless in 1.1

However, there are a number of ways to make hovels useful in this new game.

Examples:
Double build timer countdown speed to the granger in the hovel
Increased healing regen in the hovel
Hovels could spawn grangers (Making them essentially an egg for grangers only)
Make hovel invisible/hard to see
etc

Examples:
1) Double build timer countdown speed to the granger in the hovel
2) Increased healing regen in the hovel
3) Hovels could spawn grangers (Making them essentially an egg for grangers only)
4) Make hovel invisible/hard to see
etc

1) Double-thumbs up
2) Doable, but we already have a booster and aliens already have health advantage.
3) ...Why???
4) Seeing as it is supposed to be "safe for grangers", why not? Then, you could actually make the huge spikes on the outside do some damage to humans.

3) ...Why???

My reasoning is that on public servers, when the overmind dies/base is dying, you have a ton of noobs spawning as dretches and clogging up the spawn queue, basically a hovel egg would make sure at least one granger can spawn and rebuild.

Anyways, these are just a number of suggestions that can be used to make the hovel into a useful building, I would only recommend selecting one of them for implementation though.
